"When you move out, you have to come here again," said the coordinator.
"Again?" we were in the city hall to register the so called "moving-in". We were waiting for a while and had to skip lunch.
I got my residence card when I arrived in the airport, but the address was not specified on the card. So, the travel agency sent a coordinator to help me register my address and update the residence card.
"Yes, before you move to another city," the coordinator replied.
"So, for example, if I move to Hokkaido next month, I have to register the moving-out here and then register the moving-in in Hokkaido? Can I do it online?" I asked.
"No, you cannot do it online but you can do it by mail."
OMG! I have to go through this again and again if I want to travel around Japan? I wonder what would happen when the remaing empty rows for address on the card run out in a year. But I don't bother to ask this question.
